The U.S. vs. John Lennon movie - THE BALLAD OF JOHN & YOKO lyrics

rate me

<br>

Standing in the dock at Southampton,<br>

Trying to get to Holland or France.<br>

The man in the mac said, "You've got to turn back".<br>

You know they didn't even give us a chance.<br>

Christ you know it ain't easy,<br>

You know how hard it can be.<br>

The way things are going<br>

They're going to crucify me.<br>

Finally made the plane into Paris,<br>

Honey mooning down by the Seine.<br>

Peter Brown called to say,<br>

"You can make it O.K.,<br>

You can get married in Gibraltar, near Spain".<br>

Christ you know it ain't easy,<br>

You know how hard it can be.<br>

The way things are going<br>

They're going to crucify me.<br>

Drove from Paris to the Amsterdam Hilton,<br>

Talking in our beds for a week.<br>

The newspapers said, "Say what you doing in bed?"<br>

I said, "We're only trying to get us some peace".<br>

Christ you know it ain't easy,<br>

You know how hard it can be.<br>

The way things are going<br>

They're going to crucify me.<br>

Saving up your money for a rainy day,<br>

Giving all your clothes to charity.<br>

Last night the wife said,<br>

"Oh boy, when you're dead<br>

You don't take nothing with you<br>

But your soul - think!"<br>

Made a lightning trip to Vienna,<br>

eating chocolate cake in a bag.<br>

The newspapers said, "She's gone to his head,<br>

They look just like two gurus in drag".<br>

Christ you know it ain't easy,<br>

You know how hard it can be.<br>

The way things are going<br>

They're going to crucify me.<br>

Caught an early plane back to London.<br>

Fifty acorns tied in a sack.<br>

The men from the press said, "We wish you success,<br>

It's good to have the both of you back".<br>

Christ you know it ain't easy,<br>

You know how hard it can be.<br>

The way things are going<br>

They're going to crucify me.<br>

The way things are going<br>

They're going to crucify me.<br>
